Benny's World Salutes Elizabeth Edwards

Happy B-day, Elizabeth Edwards. You have inspired many of us with your determination to get health care coverage for all of us and still have time for your family. You have been a vocal advocate for media reform, something needed so much in our country. The Fourth Estate is in a mess, just as our country is. Yet, unfailingly you remain optimistic.

NCDem Amy got this right with this v-card for EE (done two years ago):

She is the "everywoman".

Hope your birthday is relaxing on your day, Elizabeth--at the summer place or wherever you and John, Emma Claire, and Jack are. On behalf of BW readers, we wish you the best!

How good of Benny to post Birthday Wishes in a place you would be sure to find it!

I hope you spent the day sunning, funning and jetskiing to your heart's content. If you have a chance perhaps you could post a picture here of you guys with your new toys. To say we miss you and our blog is a given.

Knowing that there were quite a few Edwards fans at our local Democratic Party, at the last meeting we passed out funny Oklahoma post cards to those who wanted to wish John & Elizabeth a happy birthday. Sorry, I [OklahomaVoter] forgot to bring the mailing address this time, so fewer cards may reach Elizabeth, though just as many took post cards for Elizabeth as for John.

I hope I am not too late to wish you the very best year ahead. IN every way, you have earned the title of our Nation's First Lady. Happy Fourth of July, too, to you and Senator Edwrds and all your family.

Thank you, both, for your inspiration.
